							11. HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.11.1  The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommendthat you wash them separately for the
first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted
illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance laundry without hems or with cuts. Use a
washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras,
belts, tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase
again.
11.2  Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
11.3  Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives specially made for washing machines:– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,

programmes (60 °C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for
woollens only.
